Psalm 132
A song for going up to worship.
1O Lord, remember David and all the hardships he endured.
2Remember how he swore an oath to the Lord
and made this vow to the Mighty One of Jacob:
3“I will not step inside my house,
4get into my bed, shut my eyes, or close my eyelids
5until I find a place for the Lord,
a dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
6Now, we have heard about the ark ⌞of the promise⌟ being in Ephrathah.
We have found it in Jaar.
7Let’s go to his dwelling place.
Let’s worship at his footstool.
8O Lord, arise, and come to your resting place
with the ark of your power.
9Clothe your priests with righteousness.
Let your godly ones sing with joy.
10For the sake of your servant David,
do not reject your anointed one.
11The Lord swore an oath to David.
This is a truth he will not take back:
“I will set one of your own descendants on your throne.
12If your sons are faithful to my promise #132:12 Or “covenant.”
and my written instructions that I will teach them,
then their descendants will also sit on your throne forever.”
13The Lord has chosen Zion.
He wants it for his home.
14“This will be my resting place forever.
Here I will sit enthroned because I want Zion.
15I will certainly bless all that Zion needs.
I will satisfy its needy people with food.
16I will clothe its priests with salvation.
Then its godly ones will sing joyfully.
17There I will make a horn sprout up for David.
I will prepare a lamp for my anointed one.
18I will clothe his enemies with shame,
but the crown on my anointed one will shine.”

Psalms 132
132
The Eternal Dwelling of God in Zion
A Song of Ascents.
1Lord, remember David
And all his afflictions;
2How he swore to the Lord,
#(Ps. 130:7)And vowed to #Ps. 65:1the Mighty One of Jacob:
3“Surely I will not go into the chamber of my house,
Or go up to the comfort of my bed;
4I will #Gen. 49:24; Is. 49:26; 60:16not give sleep to my eyes
Or slumber to my eyelids,
5Until I #Prov. 6:4find a place for the Lord,
A dwelling place for the Mighty One of Jacob.”
6Behold, we heard of it #1 Kin. 8:17; 1 Chr. 22:7; Ps. 26:8; Acts 7:46in Ephrathah;
#1 Sam. 17:12We found it #1 Sam. 7:1in the fields of the woods.
7Let us go into His tabernacle;
#1 Chr. 13:5Let us worship at His footstool.
8#Ps. 5:7; 99:5Arise, O Lord, to Your resting place,
You and #Num. 10:35the ark of Your strength.
9Let Your priests #Ps. 78:61be clothed with righteousness,
And let Your saints shout for joy.
10For Your servant David’s sake,
Do not turn away the face of Your Anointed.
11#Job 29:14The Lord has sworn in truth to David;
He will not turn from it:
“I will set upon your throne #(Ps. 89:3, 4, 33; 110:4)the fruit of your body.
12If your sons will keep My covenant
And My testimony which I shall teach them,
Their sons also shall sit upon your throne forevermore.”
13#2 Sam. 7:12; (1 Kin. 8:25; 2 Chr. 6:16; Luke 1:69; Acts 2:30)For the Lord has chosen Zion;
He has desired it for His dwelling place:
14“This#(Ps. 48:1, 2) is My resting place forever;
Here I will dwell, for I have desired it.
15#Ps. 68:16; Matt. 23:21I will abundantly bless her provision;
I will satisfy her poor with bread.
16#Ps. 147:14I will also clothe her priests with salvation,
#2 Chr. 6:41; Ps. 132:9; 149:4And her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
17#1 Sam. 4:5; Hos. 11:12There I will make the horn of David grow;
#Ezek. 29:21; Luke 1:69I will prepare a lamp for My Anointed.
18His enemies I will #1 Kin. 11:36; 15:4; 2 Kin. 8:19; 2 Chr. 21:7; Ps. 18:28clothe with shame,
But upon Himself His crown shall flourish.”
